The laser beam is sent to the microscope head, composed of three metallic plates that divide it into three levels.
The FT-IR spectro-microscope is composed of the Thermo Nicolet Nexus infrared bench associated with an infrared Thermo Nicolet Continuum microscope.
The slides were examined on a Nikon E400 light microscope (Japan); and the images were captured via a video-microscopic system composed of a Nikon E400 microscope, CoolSNAP-Procf Color camera, and Infinity analysis software.
Based on histological examination, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM), Ag-col was composed of the D-periodic cross-striated collagen fibrils and thick collagen fiber bundles with uneven diameters and non-orientated arrangement.
The system Biostation IM-Q (Nikon, Düsseldorf, Germany) is composed of a microscope, an incubator, and a high-resolution camera.
Slide-based arrays are composed of glass microscope slides specially treated with an adherent such as polylysine or aminosilane.
The measurement head composed of a microscope objective and an imaging system conjugated with a CCD camera scans through the imaging zone to find the best focus image created by the IOL tested.
It is composed of 2 microscopes; one with a spatial sampling less or equal to 4 μm, working in 4 colors in the visible range: MicrOmega/VIS, and a NIR hyperspectral microscope working in the spectral range 0.9 4 μm with a spatial sampling of 20 μm per pixel: MicrOmega/IR (described in this paper).
Historical observations of the blood, made in the late 18th century using some of the first microscopes, revealed that blood is composed of a heterogeneous population of cells that are distinct in number, morphology, and function.
The structures characterized using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the foam was composed of wood fibers into two- or three-dimensional microstructures within random orientations surrounding gas bubbles.
